Researchers in Kenya have excavated the first hand and foot bones belonging to *Paranthropus boisei*, an early human ancestor.
This significant discovery sheds new light on the physical capabilities and behavior of this species. Interestingly, evidence suggests that *Paranthropus boisei* wielded tools using a grip similar to that of gorillas.
This finding challenges previous assumptions about the dexterity and tool use of early human relatives, offering fresh insights into our evolutionary history.
